Summer Atelier Unveils a Bold New Collection.
Summer Atelier is known for pushing fashion boundaries, and their upcoming fashion show proves it again.The new collection blends tailoring with relaxed style.
Think of structured blazers over sheer slip dresses and bold color blocking that breaks the usual seasonal rules.
Textures take the center stage, with soft leather, airy silk, and metallic thread.Every piece feels purposeful, telling a story through fabric and shape.
But the heart of the show?A powerful collaboration with Karley Lincoln.Her floral artwork turns clothing into wearable art.
This isn’t just a fashion show.It’s a move toward something fresh, romantic, and deeply expressive.
I go on to explore standout pieces from the collection in detail, including a dark green trench coat with Karley’s hand-painted peonies on the lining.I delve into Summer’s background as an artist, tracing her journey from her days at school to this career-defining fashion collaboration, and then I bring everything together with a quote from Summer Atelier.
“Fashion should make you feel something beyond just looking good.Karley’s work reminds us that beauty can be both bold and tender, and that’s exactly what we want people to carry with them when they wear these pieces.”

Before I hit send, I hesitate for only a second.I want them to get this article as soon as possible to show how serious I am, and how much I want this.But more than that, I want an answer.My fingers pause over the keyboard, my heart racing with the certainty that this is exactly what I want to do.I hold my breath and press send.The moment it’s gone, a mix of relief and anxiety fills me.There’s no taking it back now.I stare at the screen, then immediately reach for my phone to text Adrian.He deserves to know.He’s been my biggest supporter through all this, and I want to share this moment with him, even if it’s just the waiting part.
Later, I’m at the shops with Violet, wandering through the aisles of Pulse Boutique, a shop filled with home décor.
Something about the vanilla candles and the jazz playing overhead through the speakers just puts me in a shopping mood.
“What exactly are you looking for?”Violet asks as she scans a shelf filled with ceramic vases.
I run my fingers over a textured glass sculpture.“I don’t know,” I admit.“But when I see it, I’ll know.”
Violet raises a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.“That’s very specific.”
I laugh.“Adrian got the keys to his new place, so I wanted to get him something for the house.Something that represents us or him.”
“Well, that’s helpful.”She laughs.
I sigh, shrugging.“Yeah, I know.And he’s a guy, so that makes it even harder.”
She gestures toward a section labeledNew Findsin elegant gold script.“Well, Pulse Boutique is the place for unique stuff.I’m sure we’ll leave with something.”
As we wander deeper into the store, I find it.A piece that immediately calls to me.A framed quote that says, ‘Gobble Gobble.’I pick it up, and a slow smile spreads across my face.This is the one.
Violet leans in, peering at my choice.“That’s… so weird.”
I turn to her.“Why?”
She presses her lips together.“I mean, I just don’t think it’s a normal housewarming gift.But you know what?Who am I to say that it’s not a good gift for Adrian?”
For a brief second, doubt flickers in my mind, but I push it away.No, I know him.He’ll love this.
At the counter, Eloise, the shop owner, eyes my purchase.“What’s this for?”
This is the problem with towns where everyone wants to know everything.
“A housewarming gift.”
“You bought this as a housewarming gift?”
“Right?That’s what I said,” Violet chimes in.
Eloise shakes her head, amused.“Usually, people go for platters, candles, vases… something neutral.”
